This board is so toxic!
Teams have bad years.
The funniest thing about this place is the people saying to tank for player X every year. It is just as hard to win the draft lottery as it is to win the Cup. I would way rather be a team that is always in the playoffs or playoff hunt, especially since I don't think the team survives in Calgary on a full scale tear down.

They have missed the playoffs in 9 of 13 seasons. If the team gets a new arena, the team is not moving anywhere.
I laugh at the idea that the team can't survive a rebuild here. This team has survived for 34 years while only winning 5 playoff series - with 3 of those coming in one season.
This team can survive in Calgary through a couple planned down seasons.
